"Update: Epic Games president Michael Capps claims he misspoke during a Q&A session at the Tokyo Game Show today when he said, "If there were a next Gears of War, that will be for the next console generation, whenever that is." Speaking to Eurogamer after the event, Capps explained that if the next Gears of War - assuming there is one - were to be released in the next "four to five years", it would be for current consoles. Were it to be based on Unreal Engine 4, however, it would have to come out on the next round of consoles, because those are the machines for which Epic is targeting its next generation of money-spinning engine technology.

"If we ship a game in the next few years, it'll be Unreal Engine 3. If we ship a game on next [generation] consoles, it will likely be Unreal Engine 4," he told Eurogamer."

The original article is full of crap anyway, and is showing to be a bad game of telephone.

I just do not belive that. I think in 2-3 years we will get a "surpise" with GoW 3 on the way. Otherwise they are leaving $$$ on the table. Shareholders HATE leaving $$$ on the table.

I agree with that sentiment. Its all about the money and considering Epic Games and MS have steadily enjoyed the 1-2 punch of Gears of War and Halo in ever year of existence for the 360.. You can only expect that to continue.

Besides in 2-3 years.. the surprise will be the Xbox720.. not Gears of War 3.

The 360 is going into its 5th christmas season in just a couple of months. Hard to believe but time has quickly passed by. 2012 will be the year of the new 720.

He is no longer known as darklordjames.. he is now known as DLJ, the guy from the internets.

You must not have been playing GOW2. It's more like lag and host advantage and lag and host advantage. I still play it though because I get host sometimes. The best games are when the host sucks.

Bungie is trying to make Halo better but it's the same game. I know they have their fan base but come on. Look at GOW1 compare to GOW2. It's night and day. Totally different. They actually lost players from 1 but gained alot of new players for 2. I can see why they want it to be on the next console. How much more can the xbox360 take? The technology has been beaten to death. Dont' get me wrong it works really well. Now is in it's 5 years. That's a hell of a long time. If they come out with a new xbox, I'll get it in a heart beat.
